Basic rocket tool

By Cristiano, 9 June, 2022

In this post I'm going to share with you my first rocket tool. I made it some years ago and it's enterely made of wood.

Basically, I've cut a piece about 10cm long of a wooden 2.3cm diameter broomstick and made a hole of something like 5mm diameter on it, with a length of 2cm.

For the base, I used 2 glued wood blocks with a wood pin of 5mm diameter, 2cm length sticked on it. Obviously, there must be a very little space between the pin and the hole in the other piece, you can reach this space with a sandpaper until the pin enters very close to the hole, but freely.

For today, that's it, in a future post I will tell you how I made the black powder rocket motors with this tool.
